Well its somewhat satisfying to see my first MK5 game up and running....
The image is Queen of the Nile (Brazil), certainly playable despite MAME 0.186 still saying its not working (graphics and sound issues not yet 100%). It just took some time to make sense of the instructions mentioned in my post above, the memory reset is critical.

In order to run the other 3 games each set needs its U7 and U11 roms replaced (and renamed to reflect the original rom that was replaced) with the U7 and U11 roms from the 'qnilebr' set. The U7 and U11 roms are really a 'base' bios and only the Brazilian 'qnilebr' bios requires no continuous com connection to play. In turn it needs a 4 digit security code to be provided to change settings. However once the nvram is setup the games are playable...and stay playable. However the other issue is the MAME GUI does not support running sets with roms that fail a crc check...whereas running the set directly from a cmd box allows you to do this eg. 'mame64 goldpyrb'
The nvram setup is actually straightforward and the same for all 4 games. Once the game image appears along with the error messages press F2 which should take you to a 4 digit security input screen. Press the S key to advance, A to go back the other way and F to input the desired digit. The code is 4856. As you press F for the 4th digit the screen will change. Now SIMULTANEOUSLY press the A and G keys. Now press F2 again and it should take you back to the game and be prompting you (in Portugese) to enter credit! So press the 5 key and then S or D or F or G to place your bet! As the bios is Brazilian this changes some of the language in these 3 games. If it doesn't work the first time, exit, delete the nvram directory for the set and try again.
So thats it as far as MKV playability goes at present, from the documentation on the MAME site its clear significant work remains for the MAME team getting the other MKV games to run.
Still its good to get this far after all the years of work that has gone into this driver!

All good got it sorted...
Pray tell,
What are these 'pokies' MK4 and 5's ??
Are these the equivalent of the Mame roms for playing the oldie arcade games?
I have been looking for (Guns & Roses) I have not got mk4 or mk5, if it is in one of them can you let me know or is there a list somewhere.
Cheers
has any one got this rom to work would love to play it again.
sirhrt
Cash Chameleon works, both the NSW and NZ games. That MAME Link on the first page, take the MK5 link on the site and save the html. Info on getting this/others to work is all there, it just takes time and effort
Hi all
This is probably a stupid question (there is probable a config file somewhere). LOL
What is the key mappings for MK6, and what does KEYBOARDCONNECTOR.exe do, and how do I set it up ?
Thanks
thanks for these, lost a lot of them when a hard drive died,
but unless i am missing something, once free games are triggered, i cant do anything,
unlike my last lot where they would play, i have to close and open again
If i have helped you in anyway, dont forget to hit the Thanks button

nvm deleted the folder and re-extracted the files and all is good.
wish we could get the 3 liner $1 shogun rom though

I am very glad you all like this.
Hopefully I've saved someone from giving Away their Money.

Just wondering how to slow the speed of the games down a touch, the reels are spinning very fast and I'm missing out on some of the gameplay like hearing the 'Buffffaallooo' on the buffalo machine.
Hey guys, found this page through Google.
I have an arcade machine that I would love to install a few pokies on, but looks as though this page no longer has any links to download?
Any tips on where to go hunting to find what I need?
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this! Now that we are all under self isolate, thought it would be cool to get a ZOOM session with the boys and have the slot machines going, that way we can still sesh together.
Hi, Is there a way to re configure the keys. I want to run this on my cab. I am running hypersin and rocket launcher is there a way to run the games individually without having to open mk6 first then pressing B. thanks guys
i had it setup in a similar way
had to create shortcut for each rom placed in a folder then used joytokey
to map it to my buttons.
dont ask exactly how because it was yrs ago and have not looked at it in ages
actually i had posted the work around in the thread start at post 3 ,i usually read the entire thread before posting
